I think this means hat since he is boring and everybody else is cool and intresting it makes everybody seem boring because there all the same. Since he is the only different one he is intresting

I think this means that if one person is boring than everyone must be boring to but, it is interesting to because if everyone is boring than one person have to be different and interesting to your eyes and that is what I think the author and this quote means.

i think this means he is the only one that is boring and he is the only one that is different out of the group. this means to me is being different is ok and that just because your different it doesnt matter people can call you what ever they want as long as you know your different. to add on to that i think being different is fun people can call you all names all they want but as long as you know sticks and stones may break your bones but words would never hurt you ;).

I think the speaker is trying to say that out of a thousand person's one is always gonna be uninteresting,but at the same time that person thinks he's the most interesting person out of the other nine hundred and ninety nine(999).I think this quote means that everyone is different or unique in there own way so don't think the other person is a bore because that just who they are.ARIANA HOLNESS

I that this quote means that he means that the person that is one in a thousand's personality is boring , but,the person themselves are important because they are made in a different way.In my opinion, I think that this means that for instance, there was an boring solar powered car.It would be boring on the outside but important on the inside because if it is powered by the sun,that means that it could never run out of energy and wouldn't hurt the Earth's ecosystem .

I think the speaker means that only one in a thousand is a bore and he is the unique one because he that one out of thousand that is interesting. I think that this quote means that everyone is special and unique in their own ways and you shouldn't say they are a bore because they are different from you.

I think the speaker meant that that one man is unique and doesnt follow everyone else like the rest of them and he is interesting because everyone is just looking at him as an outstander because he doesnt follow the others and he is the only one out of everyone.

The speaker means that the one person out of the thousand is different from everyone else and doesnt want to be like everyone. They dont follow the rest of the crew and is interesting because everyone is just wondering why he doesnt follow everyone else. Aquia Parris *271*

I think that this speaker meant:
"You can see one person that is very talented easily, and this person is important because he is easy to locate, unique, one in a million."
To me, personally, this quote means that when someone is unique, you can only see them, because they are a gift, even if thousands of other people are also there, you won't notice them.

I think this means if one person is boring out of a thousand that person can still be interesting and might go for someone who is better and cool .

I think the speaker means that out of a thousand people he is the one that is different. He is boring and that is interesting because he is only one person out of a thousand. Most people always want to be the same not different from anybody. That makes him special because he is different in his own way. I think it means to me personally that being different is just your own style and your just being yourself.

What I think the speaker meant by this is that one person is special
.What I think about this quote is that,that one person is interesting because he is the only one of his kind.You will most likely not find another bore in a good amount of time.

what i think the speaker meant is that there is one person who is a bore but he is interesting because he is one in a thousand he is different from everyone else. What i think the quote personally mean is that there is one person that is bore out of thousand but because there is only one person that is a bore he is one if kind,he is original, or different.

I think this means that he is boring but that doesnt matter because he is not the only one.So that would mean he is one of the thousands of people who are boring so this would make him very interesting.

I think that this quote means, this person is different from everyone else. The fact that he is different makes him special. He is human like the rest of us. Just because he is a bore to you he may not be a bore to someone else. He is unique in his own way.

i think this means that one person out of a thousand people but acording to him he finds hisself out of every thousand people to not being boring. i think his point is that he is not trying to be like any other just wanna be hisself.

i think this means that even though 999 people in the world maybe fun and awesome , they will always be the same and there will always e that one person in the world that is different even though they might be boring or not the same as others they will always be them.
